How was your January?

I've been thinking of starting a new series of blog posts at the end of each month asking about how it went for everyone. This instalment is obviously about January, and I know There will be a lot to talk about.

My January started out rough, with news of the Capitol riot disturbing me to my core, as I'm sur it did to the rest of us. My thoughts are with the family of the officer who lost his life defending the Capitol. But as the month went on, things started getting better for me and my family. My Dad got his first dose of the vaccine, my brother and his fiancé announced they were getting married, and I won a $50 dollar Amazon Gift card at a online trivia night. Overall, my January was a mixed bag, with very low lows but extremely high highs.

But what was your January like, was it rough all the way to the end, or did it eventually get better. comment below to let us know.

Random Thought: an Anti-Karen Restaurant

Everyone who has worked in food service knows that Karens are the worst. They confront you about the littles things (sometimes for no reason at all), they belittle you at every opportunity, and they are constantly asking to see the manager, hoping to see you punished for just doing your job. The worst part, you have to take it all without the slightest hint of sass, or else your the bad guy in your employer's eyes. But what if you worked at a restaurant that would not only take your side, but actively encouraged sassy behavior? That's were my idea comes in, "The Haven from Karen Dinner and Grill". Inspired by a Hungarian restaurant from State College, PA, that would paddle guests that didn't finish their food; this Dinner's staff is encouraged to finish every customer interaction with a bit of sass. They are encouraged to welcome every guess with a sarcastic remark like "welcome to Haven From Karen, would...
